"Returning"
TURCSANYI, Antal
Turcsányi (1940-) is not the mannerist ARCIMBOLDO, or the surrealist MAGRITTE, where all things are at a standstill. In his art, everything is fantastic, and whirling.

El Greco died in 1614. Born Domenikos Theotokopoulos in Crete (then ruled by Venice), he was known as ‘The Greek’ (El Greco). He trained in Venice, where he developed his intense, colourful Mannerist style: https://t.co/b2BqanlntT

The Castel Sant'Angelo in Rome is one of my favorite places in the whole world. It is a triumph of Roman Mannerist art. This is the Renaissance dream. Don't be fooled by its exterior, go and visit it, if you're ever in the Eternal City!

From the Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna: X-Rays of Caravaggio's David and the head of Goliath (1600/01) show that he reused a wooden panel that another artist had used before, probably to save money. Earlier painting represents Venus, Mars, and Cupid in a late mannerist style.

I have a soft spot for the Italian Mannerist/Generist Vincenzo Campi (1530-1591). No one like him in art. This one’s called The Ricotta Eaters. Ricotta was considered a vulgar peasant cheese, so Campi is taking the pipi out if those who gorge on it. See the skull in the cheese!

Beep beep. It's the birthday of Pontormo (1494-1557), the greatest of the Mannerists. With Pontormo, the Renaissance suddenly became crazily inventive. Opal fruit colours. Twisting poses. Weird subjects. He rewrote the book. If that isn't worth celebrating, what is?!

Thread: Doménikos Theotokópoulos, known as El Greco (1541-1614) died on this day. He was a Greek artist who became one of the most famous Spanish mannerist painters. His highly emotional spiritual images have a hallucinatory beauty.

(19) El Greco was a cosmopolitan artist whose birth in Greece gave him Byzantine roots, his training in Rome & Venice allowed a mannerist approach & finally his life in Spain gave him a mystical perspective. His style was unique. My favourite work of his is The Laocoön (1610-14)

I appear to be shifting toward a Mannerist sensibility with my new images. Image One, a chalk drawing by lead supervisor Francesco Primaticcio is a study for a painted ceiling at Fontainebleau.. Image Two is one of mine.
